They invited scientists and marketing experts to help them develop natural resources commercially while ensuring all products were developed sustainably. This documentary shows how they harvested and marketed medicines, plants and seeds fruit juices and other organic products, as well as crocodile eggs and baby turtles, which led to an economic revitalization of the North Coast that encouraged many Aborigines to return to their ancestral lands.

This segment looks at the country of Malawi in Southern African where tobacco is the major export crop, responsible for 70% of all export earnings.
